The Fifty Shades of Grey franchise was a huge moment for Dakota Johnson, but she faced stiff competition to land the role of Anastasia Steel.
Inspired by the steamy novels from E.L. James, the franchise starred Dakota and Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey, the domineering man she fell in love with. Their chemistry centered the story across three movies.
The risque plot, which flirted with BDSM and featured multiple intimate scenes, made the franchise a risk for Hollywood, but it was one that paid off.
